Edit
It sounded hence expert on paper. Yes, this creamy, tangy caprine animal cheese sauce, spiked amongst sweetness apples in addition to walnuts was going to build quite the memorable wintertime pasta dinner. The entirely work was, halfway through the bowl I suffered that most dreaded of all pasta eating afflictions…palate fatigue.
For any reason, afterwards 3 or 4 ounces of this perfectly fine concoction, I got tired of eating it. It wasn’t that it started to gustation bad; it exactly became a petty tedious. This is non an uncommon phenomenon, particularly amongst a bowl of macaroni.
However, instead of declaring my caprine animal cheese, apple, walnut pasta entrée thought a failure, I decided to cleverly re-brand it equally a tasty, seasonal side dish. The same exact recipe that vicious a petty apartment equally a chief course, turned out to live on a stellar side for to a greater extent than or less roast pork.
Of course, amongst gustation beingness equally subjective equally it is, peradventure you’ll bring a unlike persuasion equally to this pasta’s worthiness equally a headliner, but I wanted to live on clear almost my official recommendation. Even exactly adding to a greater extent than or less slices of cooked chicken pectus would bring transformed the dish into something a petty less “one-note.”
By the way, this isn’t something to build agency ahead of time, equally the walnuts react amongst the dairy inwards the sauce, in addition to volition plough your leftovers a fairly disturbing purple-blue color! If you’re non going to consume this immediately, in addition to hence don’t mix inwards the nuts until service. I promise you lot rank this bully wintertime pasta…err, I hateful side dish, a endeavor soon. Enjoy!
